Mueang Yang (Thai: เมืองยาง) is a minor district (King Amphoe) in the norteastern part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, northeastern Thailand.
[edit] History
The area of Mueang Yang was separated from Chum Phuang district and made a minor district (King Amphoe) on April 1st, 1995. The people of the minor district are mixed by original Khorat people and from the neighboring provinces Buriram, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham and Roi Et Province.
The area was occupied since prehistoric times, as there were found ceramics in Ban Mueang Yang and Ban Krabueang Nok. There are also small Khmer Prasats in Ban Mueang Yang and Ban Nang O.

The main water resource is the Mun river.

The district is subdivided into 4 communes (tambon). There are no municipal (thesaban) areas within the district.
